Bockwoldt Drafted by New Orleans
by Jeff Reynolds, BYU Athletic Media Relations


PROVO, Utah (April 25, 2004) -- It took until the seventh round of the 2004 NFL Draft, but that didn't matter to BYU's Colby Bockwoldt, he was willing to wait. Whether as a draft pick or as a free agent, he just wanted to have an opportunity to compete.

Bockwoldt, a native of Sunset, Utah, was watching a movie with his wife Ashley (and keeping an eye on the draft) when his phone started ringing around noon on Sunday. As the draft was approaching the 240th selection--having already talked to several coaches and general managers throughout the day--New Orleans Saints' head coach Jim Haslett called.

"He asked me if I was nervous," Bockwoldt said from his home in Provo. "I told him I just wished someone would draft me. He said, 'Well, let's take care of that.' I was on the phone with him when I saw my name flash up on the television. It has been an exciting day."
